Initialize the vector store for semantic search.

AI agents use setup_vector_store to create or modify resources in Linkedmash. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call setup_vector_store repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Linkedmash.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so setup_vector_store only ever does what you allow.

What does the setup_vector_store tool do? +

Initialize the vector store for semantic search. CRITICAL: When vector/semantic search fails with 'Vector Store Not Setup' error and you offered the user options to either initialize or use keyword search, and the user responds with 'first', 'option 1', 'yes', 'initialize', 'set it up', 'init', 'setup', 'go ahead' or similar confirmation, you MUST immediately call this tool. ALWAYS check your previous message in the chat history to confirm the user is responding to your options. Do NOT re-run the search tool - just call this tool. After calling this tool, inform the user that setup has started and may take a few minutes. This is an async operation that may take a few minutes to complete for large bookmark collections.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Linkedmash MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on setup_vector_store? +

Register the Linkedmash MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for setup_vector_store: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Linkedmash. Nothing to install.

What risk level is setup_vector_store? +

setup_vector_store is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit setup_vector_store? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the setup_vector_store rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block setup_vector_store completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for setup_vector_store. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides setup_vector_store? +

setup_vector_store is provided by the Linkedmash MCP server (RamyaChinnadurai/linkedmash). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Linkedmash tool call.
